A

I think your question is lack of information:

After one hour, the hare had finished 2/3 of a 100-yard race. In that same time, the tortoise had finished 42 3/4 yards. How much farther had the hare run than the tortoise?

Step-by-step explanation:

In one hour:

The hare: 2/3 of 100-yard race = 200/3 The tortoise: 42 3/4 yards = 171/4

How much farther had the hare run than the tortoise = 200/3 - 171/4 ≈23 yards.

58 yards

Step-by-step explanation:

To know how much farther the hare had run than the turtle, we must keep in mind how far the hare traveled and how much the turtle.

Free ran 100 yards.

The turtle covered 42 yards

Therefore, the difference of these two quantities is the answer of how much farther from each other. Thus:

100 - 42 = 58

58 yards difference, it is not among the response options but with this data, that would be the difference.
